Grocery . How to iUnke a Good Cup of Tea. A GOOD CUP of TEA is really a scientific preparation. Some prefer all black Tea, others a mixture of green. The most wholeeomo is that mado from black alone, and if one teaspoonful of tea^ be allowed for ench person besides an extra oiic for tho teapot., nn infusion of excellent streng'h may be obtnino<l. Tho Tea should bo m»do in a bright, metal teapot ?f possible, because bright substances rotaiu tho heat longer Ihun rough ones ; a metal lenpol extracts ull the st-rengili in the first infusion of Tea, leaving none for the last brewing, an earthenware teapot being slower in its action upon the herb admits of a better Tea being poured out at. last. Then tho water must not only have just boiled, but be in the. very act of boiling at tho time it is poured over the leaves, or no good Tea can be made,- If the water hns stopped or gone off the boil ono half minute, the Tea will be weak and tasteless, ;for only water really at the boiling point will extract the qualities of the Tea, und it should stand from fifteen to twenty minutes before pouring out. The teapot should be thoroughly dry and warm before put* ting the T-a in. In i-ouring the boiling water on to tbe Tea it is best only to hnlf fill the r-spot, and in ten minutes to tidd the remainder. By this process t!io heat is kept up. When the infusion has once been made it is useless to add any more Tea to that already in the teapot. If .more be required, it is better to use a second teapot, jug, or large cup, taking care to cover closely, and place in the oren till fully infused,' then it may be udded to that already in the teapot. It seems an easy thing to make a Cup of tiooD Tk±—and really ia so, WHEN YOU GET IT AT McGOWAN'S. 3/- i£ea at McGowan's. 1 jnerals ~~ FUNERAL NOTICE. rflliJE Funeral of the Ute Mrs O'C'ownob X will leave the Residence, Queen street, TO-MORKOW (Friday) ABTEKNOON, at 3.50 o'clock.
